Pretty easy sequence to predict here people. Both for Cindy and Death Star. 1. Image leaks. 2. "Meh, not impressed, where has Lego's creativity gone?" 3. "Guaranteed investment winner" - Ed Mack 4. "Well, the previous version [is/isn't] selling well in [Europe/US], so don't think your market can predict the [US/Europe] market on this set!" 5. OrcKing posts high-res official thread pics minutes after they are available. 6. "You know, looking at this again, I like those two greebles, and look, two new unique parts in [seafoam blue/dark-light-gray-bley]" 7. Goes on sale on Lego.com with a Nexo Knights promo cycle or chopper. 8. "In for 3" - Exciter. 9. "This is my first Lego investment, was it good that I bought 20 of these already??" - user with reg date of x-1 week from posting date. ... .. ... 10. Profit! :-)

You missed 3B: thisset will do justfine I will start buying2 per month soon and work up to 500units you cant lose with large exclusives - Emazers

STAR WARS sets are far less risky than any Super Hero set, this side of The Tumbler. For the most part, the most valuable STAR WARS sets are based on vehicles, while successful Super Hero sets (with exception of Tumbler) are valuable because of their figures. Maybe you should build a few and you will see the difference. As for my completely incorrect logic...You think you have this all figured out, but you really have no clue. You think you are Spock, only dealing with logic and numbers. LEGO is more than logic. It is a passion and creative force unlike any Amiibo, baseball card or Beanie Baby. It's sad that I cannot teach you these things. You either get it or you don't. You can make money off of logic, but when push comes to shove, the person who "gets it" will have a distinct advantage over those who don't. This applies to any collectible or item that is resold. I have seen people like you on this forum before and you treat it as a commodity, with really no respect for the product itself. Next year, you will be on the next forum, discussing the next hot trends in collectibles, but never really appreciating the collectible being discussed. Until you accept the fact that emotion plays a huge part in the LEGO world, you will never truly understand the opinions of many on this site.

Going way off topic folks . Not the place

No, but hopefully it will have a helicopter.

According to Ironbrick, the whole planet is doomed and mankind with it! When i see his posts I immediately imagine

I think this set is really bad and worthless. I bought three of them a while back just to burn them in some kind of ritual.

My first garage sale find. 23 minifigures and one motorcycle. $0.25 each, $6 total. I left all the loose LEGO. Who is the dude on the lower right?

As someone that has built, or been a part of building just about every worthwhile star wars set from the last 5 years, this one ranks first in my book as one of the most satisfying builds. I know i'm not the only one that shares that opinion. Is it as sexy as the Slave 1? No. Is it a cooler build with a lot more interesting features.. Heck yes. To me, this is everything a large scale UCS set should strive to be. On the same token, i'm not going crazy on these as an investment and will just add a couple to my stock, but I expect it should do very well if you hold it past 2 years.

Went to grab a Technic Porsche from the Lego Store in Cleveland. Wanted to try to get another sale in under the wire on the eBay $50 for June seller fee promo. While in the store, I asked if there were any damaged box exclusives. Low and behold, they had a Porsche with a small crease on one side for 1,000 bonus VIP points. Couldn't pass that up. Already flipped the good box set, can build the damaged box set, and when my LEGO Shop at Home order shows up in 2018 I'll hold that one long term.

Point 5, I think you're missing a zero. Point 9. Ironbrick mentions for only the second time, possibly the third, how bad this new set is for the 10188

I am afraid it will go differently: 1. Shortyz will post the first leaked image and asks: thoughts? 2. dcdfan and speedsausage will say they like 10188 better. And that the boxart reminds them a little of the B-wing. 3. Val-E will alert everyone to keep an eye on Bricklink. 4. Many will share how happy they are they just sold their last 10188 for $500 a week before the leaked image. 5. Emazers will try to calm the horde by saying the 10188 wiill still sell for $500 down the road. 6. The new DS is starting to grow on MarleyMoose who isn't really a big fan of the set. 8. Some people, are happy with the new DS. Cause they just missed the 10188. Whilst many others, like Ciglione, are calling for a boycot of the new DS. 9. .........

BokBokTron Meggatron by Angus MacLane

I'd have to adopt you .... no more senior discount at Shopko!

That's why I operate my own in-house LEGO store where my kids can buy their favorite sets (prepopulated based on catalog reviews, wishlists and store visits) at discount prices.

Finally feel like I got a sweet deal...Got the Empire State Building for $10, which took me 10 mins to build and now joins his friends in the office. Then as we're arranging a place to meet up (did this deal via letgo) I asked if she had any other sets, so she said she had 2 more. Only one worth discussing. 4954 Creator Townhouse. Got that used/complete/no box for $40. $50 total and I am a happy camper. Can't wait to build that townhouse.

According to a story by Andrew Paul, Contributing Writer to Comicbookresources.com, the next wave of DC Mighty Micros will be released January 2017, and include three new superhero/villain pairs: Batman vs. Killer Moth Superman vs. Bizarro Wonder Woman vs. Doomsday For more on this, check out the Comicbookresources.com story here. Thoughts on the new pairings? Please feel free to share in the comments section below. View full blog article

If you don't have any I would suggest getting at least a few, as You will never see a large $300 Sandcrawler again, so if you have the money get them, I have plenty of them, got them all at the Lego stores and all beautiful Boxes. Ed

just like the last one, this does work on egift cards for TRU, sears, staples, lowes, etc...

Totally correct. And when the decision is "no".....I suggest to watch "A New Hope" (again) which pulls the decision-maker back into the rollercoaster of "feelings". Beside that, I really like this beast......

There are lots of opinions on the potential of the Sandcrawer in the 21 previous pages in this thread. You might be swayed one way or the other by reading through them. I don't think any new opinions will help with the decision.

I give to you....the Supermobile!

It's nice to see AFOLs join who value Lego as a hobby. Welcome to the website.

GHOSTBUSTERS 2016 HeadQuarters by Eric DRUON

Built the new Ghostbusters Ecto-1. From a build perspective, it's a nicer build than the original set. Pretty sharp too. http://imgur.com/a/bLzp3

If you say so. I'll keep my fingers crossed you're right before the remake with the reindeer coming from the other direction on the box...

In for 3...

@Ciglione I honestly couldn't believe it turned out to be such a great set that was offered. She sends me two random set #s, the other was just a small creator house that is maybe worth the $30 she was asking, but I didn't really like it, and have spent too much lately, the other, I just couldn't believe. I know my 6 year old will be super happy for an awesome set to build to keep our little city moving along. Finally feel like I got a win...I see all these amazing CL post wins about GBHQ for $150 NIB or 4 sets NIB worth $1000 for $100...guess it just pays to be persistent and ALWAYS ASK if they have more...I'll share some images once built but my son who turns 6 this weekend will be getting the mystery mansion and possibly a train set, so lots of building ahead!

Big Ben in its new home. Very tedious build which is worth it at the end.

Built Big Ben and added lights from Brick Stuff. What a slick addition to the model - I added two white LEDs in the top of the tower, and two green LEDs behind the colonnade above the four sided clock. Next step is to illuminate the facade and light the Tower Bridge displayed next to it. For those builders and MOCers that have thought about diving into lighting, you will not be disappointed.

Anger Poster by Angus MacLane

I see a couple pieces to some kind of ship (maybe pirate).

need to add one step before "profit". add something about box seal code tracking

Welcome, and please GO SLOW. Don't buy anything until you've read everything. Except for Lego 21301 birds. http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Ideas-Birds/42104288 That you can buy 2 of today, right now, without thinking, at retail price, while it is already retired across the world. Most brickpickers did buy in for around 30-37 (instead of full retail of 45) but its rare to have an opportunity to buy a set that's gone everywhere else. You're welcome, and pay it forward some day.

It transforms into a helicopter .

Custom Deluxe Aquarium Modular by Erich Barthel

New Century Corner by Eero Okkonen

Just finished my Tie Fighter a couple days ago. Very enjoyable build, Although the wings were very repetitive.

This is the first time I've ever posted in this thread, but I feel a little like a kid in a candy store. I found myself an early Christmas present! Used on Craigslist...$700 with box and instructions. Was only missing about 12 pieces which we easily found in our collection. Out of 5922...that's pretty good! The light is nothing original, but really enhances nighttime display! Sits quite comfortably next to the Eiffel Tower. Now I just need the GC!

Started the PR last night while handing out candy & just finished up. The detail on this is amazing. Of the 4 modulars I have done this is easily the nicest. Pains me to say that as I was determined to keep the GG as my fav but I just can't do it.

I finally made a display of the HP sets that I picked up last month. These are the ones that I am keeping (more accurately giving away on an extended loan) and I never knew that you could stack the 4709 castle (or any of series 1) on top of other sets; that is really cool! I think that the second picture gives you a view of one castle in front of the other to make it appear larger when looking straight on because the roofing tiles line up perfectly. There are 3 castles, Dumbledore's office, forbidden corridor, Snape's class, Maurader Map, a Buckbeak, and Gringott's Bank in these pictures

Completed the TB yesterday, took about 9 hours total. This set is very large when completed and looks amazing. I found this to be the most challenging/annoying build thus far....not because of the difficulty, but the sorting involved! Over 4000 pieces, and the bags were not numbered! I guess they didn't bother numbering bags for the older sets, there didn't seem to be much logic with the various pieces in the bags. Stopping every few minutes to look for that "one" piece was annoying. Here is a better pic.

Finished up the Sea Cow today - looks amazing!!! Really like the steam punk related details.
